The Denver Broncos are between a rock and a hard place. After pulling the trigger on a blockbuster for Super Bowl winner, Russell Wilson. They were in the running to be contenders this season as well. However, since the start of the season, there have been only contradictory actions. While the team started their run with a loss, it became more of a habit. After 10 games, the Broncs find themselves sitting at a 3-10 record. In recent weeks, questions over HC Nathaniel Hackett have grown in addition to a call for change.

Following their home defeat to the Las Vegas Raiders. The press asked Wilson to comment on the rumors around Hackett’s exit from the team. While they asked him whether all the speculation was a distraction to the player. The QB answered, “I think that anytime you play this game professionally — anytime there’s tough days, there’s always talk. There’s always chatter.” Further ensuring fans that the player as well as the organization are focused on only one thing, that is to turn the season around. “We’re all in and we’re going to do everything we can to get this thing turned around and focus on tomorrow.”
